I have several clients who take a similar drug, Klonopin, daily for the same reason. Generally, Ativan is for anxiety only. It won't improve any symptoms related to feeling blue or possibly being depressed.
The idea of taking it daily is to lower your anxiety threshold overall, so that you aren't as easily effected by your environment and stressors instead of taking it when you feel a clear episode of panic coming on. I've seen successes, but I've also heard people who complain they can't function because they feel very drugged. Expect a few days at minimum to adjust to feeling fuzzy, disconnected, verrrry relaxed etc. Doesn't have to be a bad thing but it may make studying/focusing slightly more challenging.
